Saudi Arabia’s sweeping anti-corruption investigation is set to end with 95 suspects likely to be referred to the public prosecutor.
“Only a couple of days [until] cases of corruption-related settlements are closed in preparation for referring the remaining defendants to the public prosecution,” announced the government-linked Twitter account Infographic_ksa on Tuesday.
